Upregulation of telomerase and greatly extended lifespan (greater than 5 times the lifespan of untransduced keratinocytes) with no apparent crisis or slow down in growth. Despite upregulation of telomerase, E6/E7 transduced keratinocytes exhibited significant telomere shortening with passaging in culture

Recommended Growing Conditions
